What is VHS videotape capable of? Today I will print a test piece from a VHS videotape.

VHS is an analog slant-line video cassette format.
Belt width: 12.65 mm (½ inch)
VHS film is a multilayer (3-5 layers) tape. The magnetic material used in the magnetic layer of the tape consists of very small needle-like particles (0.2-0.4 µm).
Powders of gamma iron oxide, chromium dioxide, cobalt ferrite, homogeneous metal and their various combinations are usually used as the working layer.
Magnetic media of audiovisual information from the past. Let's give cassettes a second life!
It prints well and badly, no matter I'm interested in the magnetic properties of this material and electrical conductivity.
I will not open the cassette. It is very easy to get to the film! On the left side there is a button that must be pressed to open the protective cover.
So that it doesn't get in the way, I'll break it off at all ... It's not easy to pull the tape out either. A retainer is provided to prevent the tape from unwinding
To unlock them, you need to press the middle of the cassette. I will pull it on the PET tape pulling device.
It took me a lot of time to select the amount of film for a three millimeter rod. One less tape and the thread becomes soft, and if one more, the thread gets stuck. For a three millimeter thread, the best option is 10 magnetic tapes
Let's check the bar magnetism? Magnets !!! This is my first time seeing a magnetic polymer.
I will measure the passage of electric current. I am delighted!! Although the resistance is high, the current still passes
